Down and Kildare, as round 2A winners, are through to the semi-finals. Wicklow, beaten by Roscommon, are already out. So Derry v Offaly and Rosgommon v Sligo are effectively quarter-finals.
By the looks of it, Derry v Offaly is at a neutral venue of Newry owing to the distance between the two counties and the logistics of travelling. Which is a little relief.
Derry have had two matches this winter, a NHL D2 final against Down and last Saturday's Christy Ring game, also against Down. Having had those games will naturally be an advantage to the Ulster side, while on the other hand they failed to close both out, which were tight affairs. And they started on Saturday with just three from Ulster club champions Slaughtneil.
